Zim has adequate sugar stocks to meet demand: ZAS

THE Zimbabwe Sugar Association (ZAS) says there will be adequate sugar supply for household and industrial consumption this year despite the current  El Niño  phenomenon which has affected agricultural production in the country.

The  El Niño  weather phenomenon has caused drought and heatwaves, affecting water supply for domestic, animal and industrial use and hitting farming output for rain-fed agriculture.

But in a statement, ZAS chairperson Willard Zireva said the industry was adequately stocked to meet national demand.
